Nothing can replace or compare with the action of actually doing. There is a certain understanding and level of expertise that simply cannot be reached without doing, acting, or putting into practice all that we have been learning. This act, to do, will not only bring forth action in our projects, but it will actually enhance our learning process in a way that talking, reading, or listening never could.
Do not neglect that little two letter word, “do”. It is these two letters that have often separated the artist from the bum.
